AMlLROlD IMPROVEMENTSWIFT TRAINS FROM THE- SHORE TO NEW, YORK.

Big Chahoea to be Made to theTracks of the New York and Long

' Branch Railroad—Mted Bank to""' Xete York in Forty-Five • Minutes.

The management of the New York andLong Branch railrcad is arranging forveryextensivechangesandiraprovements

' along the line of the road to take placewithin the next few yeare. Thesechanged and improvements will costfrom $500,000 to $1,000,000, or nearly one-third as much as it has cose to build theroad with its double track'.

The principal improvement which is tobe' ihade is the elevation of the trackalong the entire length of fine toad, orwherever there are crossings. Whenthis is done there will not' be a singlegrade crossing anywhere along the fineof the road. The trains will then notonly be able to make better time, butthere will be absolutely no danger ofaccidents at crossings.

The recent purchase of the New JerseyCentral road will, inake it necessary toget the consent of the new-owners tothe improvements, as well as the con-sent of the Pennsylvania road, sinceboth of these roads have the right to runover the tracks of the New York andLong Branch railroad.- The new ownersof the Central road, however, are ener-getic and enterprising, and they willprobably advocate the improvements asstronglyaB they are recommended byRufus Blodgett; the superintendent ofthe New York and Long Branch rail-road. '

Some of the plans for the raising ofthe tracks of the road have already beenprepared, and they were exhibited to aREGISTER reporter at the office of therailroad at Long Branch last Friday.The new steel bridges which are beingput in at Parker's creek and at the otherstreams south of Bed Bank form part ofthe contemplated improvements. It isproposed to do away entirely with thewooden bridges now in use on the roadand to replace them with steel bridges,built on stone and concrete piers. Insome places where the road crosses longstretches of low land on trestle work, asat Matawan, and at the northern end ofthe bridge at Bed Bank, a solid embank-ment will be built up, with arched stoneculverts at the .base of the embankmentto allow for the passage of the streamsflowing through the low lands.

The proposed plan for raising thetracks of the railroad is to lay them on asolid embankment of earth. Where thetrack crosses streets the embankmentwill have 4. retaining wall of stone, andon these stone walls steel bridges will bebuilt. The modem plan of crossingstreets is to have the steel girders or steelbeams rise above the level of the tracks,with the tracks supported on the steelflanges at the bottom of the trusses orgirders. With the use of trusses orgirders of this kind more head room isgained for wagons which pass under thetrucks, and the embankment can bemade, much lower than would otherwisebe rieceasury.

The plans for raising the tracks throughRed Bank have been completed. Theplans provide for raising the tracks fromsix to eight feet, and whatever addi-tional height is required for wagons toget under the tracks will be obtained bylowering the grades of the streets. Themap of plans shows street crossings inRed Bank at Shrewsbury avenue, Bridgeavenue, Monmouth street, > Oaklandstreet, Chestnut street, Beach street andBroad street.. At Broad street the rail-

• road would be fully ten feet above thewagon road, which would afford ampleroom for wagons.

Raising the tracks through Bed Bankwould also avoid the grade crossings ofthe Southern railroad and the trolley.There has always been fear of seriouscollisions at these places, Last Saturdayan accident occurred at the Southerncrossing whereby a freight car loadedwith brick waa struck by a passengerlocomotive on the New York and LongBranch road atad was overturned. The

, freight car was accidentally bumpedXhilo by a train which was drilling and

WsNtorted off. It crossed the track ofthVNow York and Long Branch railroadjuat 'as the noon' train was coming upfrom Long Branch. The locomotiveslruok the car of brick about in the mid-dle and overturned it. Had the freightcar been a couple of seconds later itwould have crashed into the passengercoaches, Travel was delayed for twohours or so, but no one was injured.There has always been fear that a trolleyoar might bo struck by a train, in spiteof the safeguards which are provl led byboth ronds.

The earth to make nil the flllB willbe taken from the land near the deepnut. Several acres on the creat of thishill have been bought, in order to gettlte necessary earth. When the im-provements are begun a stenm shovel

^will bo put at work there and the fillswill be made very fast, as a great dealof earth can be moved in a Bliort timoby this process. No effort will bo mndoto reduce the grade climbing tho hillthrough the deep cut. Mlddletawn lies05 feet above tho level of the road atBed Bonk, ant} this grade might as wellbo climbed nt one place on the route aaat another.

In crossing tho river on tho new gradoIt is proposed to tear down tho presentbrldtfo and tp build another bridge, sixor eight feet higher than tho preeontbridge- This bridge will bo built onconcrete and stone foundations. TIICROfoundation piers will rtao a little abovohigh water mark, and. tho superstructurewill bo of eteol. At tho Mlddlctown onilof tho brldgo, where the rond CTOSHOU

the Patterson swale, a solid embankmentwill be built, with stone sluiceways forthe two streams flowing, through thesalt-meadow at that point. The softmud in this meadow is from twenty toforty feet deep in places, and the earthwith which the swale is filled in will'sink down until it reaches the solid bot-tom;. „ The road will be carried on a levelgrade acrobs the river and until it strikesthe grade climbing'the hill through the,deep cut. It will strike the beginning ofthis grade 1,200 feet north of Patterson'spoint. {

South of, Bed Bank the railroadcrdsnesWhite's road, near the gas holder, anda liptle further south it crosses; theLittle Silver road. Still further! southare the Oceanport and Tovm^Neck roads.For a long time past the railroad has beentrying to converge the three roads at thispoint into one road and build an over-head bridge for wagons. The,, proposed timprovements will make this unneces-sary. At Elkwood Park the wagon roadwill cross the tracks by. means of an over-head bridge. All the other roads'alongthe entire length of the road from PointPleasant to Perth Am boy will either-gounder or over, the railroad, so that therewill not be a single grade crossingthroughout the entire length of the road.

The raising of the tracks will do awayentirely with the use of flagmen andgaternen, During the summer seasonextra flagmen are employed and thewages paid them during the busy seasonis at the rate of $30,000 per year. Dur-ing the winter season, when not so manyflagmen are employed, the aggregatewages paid is at the rate of $15,000 peryear ; and it is probable that an averageof $30,000 per year is paid out annuallyfor flagmen's services. The cost of gatesat crossings is° another important item,each set of gates which is put in costingthe railroad about $500.

The raising of the tracks is only a partof the improvements contemplated. Allthe sharp curves are to be made easierand the road is to be straightened where-ever possible. Land has been bought be-tween West End and Deal, and a per-fectly straight track will be built there.The sharp curve at Matawan' will bemodified and the curve at the crossing ofthe Pennsylvania railroad at South Am-boy will be made much easier.

All this work of straightening thetrack, raising the grade, abolishing gradecrossings and building new bridges isdone in order to give better service thanis possible under present conditions.When the proposed improvements arecompleted it is proposed to run regulartrains between New York and PointPleasant at the rate of sixty miles anhour. The time from Aebury Park toNew York wilt probably be not. morethan an hour and ten minutes, includ-ing, .crossing the .ferry.*-From LongBranch it is expected to get to NewYork in an hour, and from Bed Bankthe time will probably be from forty tofifty minutes. There is an 'urgent de-mand for swifter trains, but these cannot be run until the track is put ha a con-dition to safely operate them. Wherethere are so many grade crossings asthere are along the line at present, fasttime is impracticable.

Superintendent Blodgett stated to THEREGISTER reporter last Friday that whenthe improvements were completed itwas his intention to recommend to theoperating companies that express trainsbe run from all of the principal townsalong the line, making no stops betweeneach town and New York. One expresstrain would leave Asbury Park after hav-ing stopped at the stations south of thatplace, and would make no more stopsuntil it reached New York. Anothertrain would leave Long Branch in thesame way; and other express trainswould run from Bed Bank, Matawanand South Ambiy, making no stops after'leaving each of these1'towns until NewYork is reached. This would give eachimportant town the benefit of a throughexpress service. Trains from New Yorkwill.be run in the same way.

The changes to the tracks'of the roadcannot be made except with the coopera-tion of the towns and townships throughwhich the road passes. The advantagein improved service and absolute se-curity from accidents is BO great, thatMr. Blodgett said he did not apprehendany difficulty in getting- the requiredconsent of municipalities, especially asthe railroad expected to bear practioallythe entire expense. In many places theauthorities unite with the railroads inraising the" trucks, and they pay fromone-third to one-half of the cost; but inmaking the proposed changes along theline of this road the ruilrond companywould boar the expense either wholly orprincipally.

One very important improvement andone of the most expensive that will haveto be made to carry out the proposedplans, is the building of a now bridgeacross tho Baritan river between SouthAmboy and Perth Amboy. This bridgewill be a doublo track structure. Thepresent bridge will have to bo entirelyrebuilt. The intention is to make thebrldgo so strong and powerful that trainscan go over it without slacking up inspeed .in tho slightest degree. Shouldtho draw bo open trnins would, of course,hnvo to'wait, but asido from this possi-ble cause of delay it is not expected thatthere will bo any slacking up of spcod oftho oxprens trains from tho tiino thoyleave Hie town of their last slop till theyget to Jersey City.1 I he sharp curvednow in tho road will bo «o much reducedthat a speed of eixty miles an hour caneasily bo mndo at all partti of tho lino,and whore there in a straight traok forany diatnnco this speed will bo consid-erably lnoronBed.

It is oxpeoted that work on tho pro-poood itnprovomontf) will bo begun asnoon as tho coming summor Boneou'ebusiness Is over., In tho meantime nil

the arrangements fordoing the work willbe. perfected so that it can- be pushedthrough in the shortest possible lime.All-th6~\frork cannot be completed in oneyear, but i t is proposed to do as much ofit..as. possible petw.een-the busy seasonseach year. At present, the intentionhisto begin at Bed Bank nem fall. Shouldthis be done the-new1' bridge over theShrewsbury river wilt be built next win-ter and the track through tbe town willbe raised. From BetLBank the work willbe extended northward- and southwardas fast as possible.' . .-•'

TEE HEN'BAM REGISTERJOHN .H. COOK. Editor and Proprietor,

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1901.

'. A Big Railroad Improvement.The proposed improvements to the

New York arid Long Branch railroad,whereby the tracks will be elevated andgrade crossings abolished, will be agreater benefit to the towns and villagesthrough which the railroad passes thanto the railroad itself. On grade cross-ings tbere is always danger of accidents,no matter how careful railroad men andtravelers may be. The most ingenioussystem of signals ever devised will not

^stop accidents, tfnless the signals areunderstood and obeyed. With the trackselevated all danger of accidents is abaolutely, averted.'

It is not so much because of the elimi-nation of accidents that the improve-ments proposed will be of advantage tothe towns along the line. Swift trainsare demanded nowadays. Fast time be-,tween the towns of Monmoutb county

, and New York must be made if theshore section is to keep up its growth ofthe past few years. Other sections ofthe country are making inducements forpeople to settle with them and amongthe most important of these inducementsis quick time to and from New York.Unless Monmouth county towns canoflr as great inducements in the way ofrailroad facilities as these ether locali-ties, the towns of Monmouth will suffer.

An increasing population is a sign ofprosperity. An increasing populationmeans an increasing demand for lots forbuilding sites. . It means an increasingnumber of customers at the stores. • Itmeans the building of more houses, giv-ing business not only to the dealers inlumber and hardware, but more workfor architects, mechanics and laborers.An increasing population of men who dobusiness in New York but who maketheir homes in the country means morethan all these. It means that money isbrought into .the town from outsidesources; and the spending of this moneyin the town means permanent wealthfor those towns were the moneyla spent.

The towns and townships along therailroad . should cooperate with therailroad authorities in making the pro-posed improvements. The height of theproposed embankment on. which thetrains are to run is not BO high as to beobjectionable or to be damaging to prop-erty in the neighborhood of the tracks ;•while the lowering of the highways atthe crossings in order to allow wagonstoget under the tracks will be so slightas not to be damaging to adjoining prop-erty.

With swift express trainB to and fromNew York, and with the natural attrac-tions which this locality has to offer, theshore section of Monmouth county shouldcontinue to increase in population, pros-perity and wealth aa rapidly as it hasdone during the past ten years. Withthe increase in population along shoremust come also an increase of prosperityfor Monmouth's farmers, since there willbe a greater number of people close athand to consume the products of theirforniB.

"With the assistance tof themachinist Mies Clinton was pulled fromher perilous position. One side of herhead was stripped of hair and the scalpwas bleeding. The'girl was almost over-come with the pain and shock. Severalof the oilier girla in the factory fainted.Medical aid was summoned and the in-jury, while very painfill, was found notto be very serious. It is not known whyMiss Clinton went under the machinery.She is seventeen years old.

TOWN TALK.'a;'

Grover H., LufBurrow has just beenappointed to a place in the New Yorkcustqui house at a salary of $4,000 peryear. Mr. Lufburrow IB a resident ofShrewsbury, who is in business m NewYork. He is generally known as " Doc"Lufburrow, although be is not .a doctorat all. The title wan given to him in bisboyhood, and it has atuck to him eversince. He has been in politics from liisyouth up. " Doo" Lufburrow is one ofthe stralghtest and squarext men, andone of the struightest, squares! and mostreliable Republican politicians, thatMonmouth county has ever raised.Everybody who has ever badvany deal-ings with him, either in business orpolitics, will be glad to learn of his goodfortune. v • « '

The Btory_ of the census of Monmouthcounty, which is printed in THE REGIS-TER this week, is an interesting story toevery resident of the county, but it isdoubly interesting to business men andpoliticians. The man wbo contemplatesgoing in business wants to start in aprosperous community, and in a com-munity which is constantly growing innumbers ; since if he starts in a com-munity|which is decreasing in numbersthere ia but little chance for his business

-to grow. The census statistics for thepast twenty years, which are printedthis week'in THE REGISTER, give infor-mation as to the growth or decline ofpopulation in every township of the:ounty since 1880.

# * *Nor is this information valuable only

to business men.' It is valuable to everyintending purchaser of a home. Mostmen, in buying a lot for a home, wantto get it in a locality where 'it will in-crease in value; and the greatest in-crease in land values is found in thoseplaoes where the population grows thefastest. In such a locality the pressureof the population causes a continual risein the value of lots, and the owner of ahome there gets the benefit of this riseshould be ever want to sell out, orshould he ever be compelled to sell.The future can be judged only by thepast, and? the causes which have re-sulted in the rapid building up of Mon-raouth's shore are likely to continue inforce for many years to come.

# #.#- To politicians also.a study of the census

figures will prove useful, Permanentalliances in growing townships are morevaluable than alliances in decliningtownships, since i a one case the ally isconstantly growing'stronger while in theother it is constantly growing weak'er.The census figures show that 56 per centof the population of the entire countyis concentrated in the four townships ofMiddletown,- Shrewsbury, Ocean andNeptune, while tho remaining twelvetownships have but 44 per cent of thepopulation of-> the county. It followsthen that a Democratic alliance coveringthese fotjr townships could absolutelycontrol the politics of that party ; whilea Republican alliance covering the samefour townships would be equally effect-ive in controlling the Republican party.As these townships have interests inommon it would probably not hea difli-:iiU "matter for the leaders in these town-

ships to " get together," and so controlthe conventions. This is especially trueof the Democratic party, where the shorehas been waging war on the Freeholdpoliticians for some years." The Demo-cratic politicians of the shore, while theyhave not had enough p_ower to controlthe Democratic conventions and to dic-tate the nominations, have still beenable to swing enough Votes over to theRepublicans to defeat the Democraticnominees, and they, will probably con-tinue this policy until such time as theycan get control of the party conventions.

# •» *The sidewalks in Red Bank for the

past few days have been dangerous tolife and limb. A number of propertyowners on the principal streets of thetown have made no pretence whateverof cleaning their sidewalks and the re-suH is very slippery walks, where thetimid and those who arp not sure-footedare certain to slip and likely to fall.Many people have had to walk out inthe street in order lo be safe from fall-ing. The ordinance requiring sidewalksto be kept free from ice imd Bnowshould be enforced, If the owners ofproperty will not do this, the work.8hould.be done by the town and the ex-pense should be made as alien on theproperty, as the law provides.

# * »_ The contests over licenses which con-

tinually occur show tliat the method ofgrnnting licenses in New Jersey is radi-cally wrong. When a man applies for alicense there should be no more ques-tions as to whether or not he should havea license, than there is about getting per-mission from the general government toengage in the cigar business.

# # »At present the granting of a license to

keep a hotel depends on many things.A man may build tho largest, bestequipped and most convenient hotelthat a town has; he may bo an exem-

lary-man in e\ory particular; nnd yetmay not bo able to get a license for

that hotel. Another man may build ahotel in n growing community where ahotel has become a public necessity, andyet ho may fail to get a license.

Thero are many tilings which nffocttho granting of a license which'ehouldnot enter into tho matter at nil. Everynew hotel which ia licensed interferes inHomo degree with other hotels in thoneighborhood. If UIPHO other hotelshave Hufllclont pull with the judge, thonow hotel will not got a llconno ; thoughthorn la no more roncton why tho courtsBhould Imvo power to maintain ft mon-opoly In the buflincsH of liquor (tollingthan thoro In in giving thorn power tomaintain a monopoly many other linoof business—in-the Belling of dry coodn,for instance,

* # #If any of tho. people In tho riolfrhbor-

liowl of a (now hotel arc opposed to it,and nro willing to put up their money tohlro A ooMiretont lawyor to light (ho li-

cense in court, the chances of the hotelgetting a license grow slimmer. Tnefact that a lawyer has been hired to op-posp a license is no real reason why thelicense should be refused, .any more thantho i'actthat'a,lawyer has been hired tosupport a license is any re«l reason whya license should be granted ; and yet-everybody knows that the hiring of alawyer wbo has the ear of the courtgoes a great ways iji determiningwhether or not the license shall begranted. '

. . . • • ; . ' . • , # # • . • . . • ' • ' . . - ; .

The personal and political bias of ajudge likewise has a great deal to dowith license matters.- The granting orrefusing of a license lies wholly wuh ajudge, und he con grant it or refuse if,as he please^. Tbere is no going behindthe returns, and the whim of a; judge isabsolute law in'.license cases. If theman who wants a| license has been op-posed to tbejudge personally or politic-ally, or if the backers of the hotel manare opponents of the judge, the chancesincrease that the license will not begranted.

* * • • "

These .conditions exist everywherewhere the license law is like the NewJersey license law. The whims of ajudge, the personal or political likes anddislikes of a judge, the pull which somehotel men may have with a judge, thehiring of lawyers to oppose or to favor alicense application—none of these thingsshould' have any weight in determiningwhether or not a license shall be granted.'Yet. all men believe that these things do'have a great deal of weight in determin-ing license matters, and there is not anew application for license made inwhich some of these things at least arenot prominent factors,

* • »Everyone knows how difficult it is for

any man to rid himself wholly of classbias or of personal bias. Even in mattersso free from individuality as astronomi-cal observations, what js known as " thepersonal equation " has to be taken intoaccount in determining the result; andwhen the complex features of a licenseapplication are considered, there are somany influences at work in the judge'smind that it becomes practically impos-sible for him to exercise absolute impar-tiality. The ruffling of a judge's^temper,a painful corn. nay. even so slight athing.as whether or not his dinner hasagreed with him, affects his mind ingreater or leaser degree. Circumstanceswhioii a- judge looks upon one day asfrivolous and trifling, may be consideredby him as highly objectionable on an-other (Jay when personal feeling, classbias, political animosities and personaldiscomfort are present as factors ; andthis too,.without any intention on bispart to be anything but fair. Humannature is much the same now as it wasthousands-of years ago, when the fableof the gored ox was first written.

' • • ' • ' • * •

In some states a bard and fast licenselaw has been enacted which has servedits purpose well: That Jaw provides thatevery man who has the proper facilitiesfor a hotel or a saloon shall gel a licenseon payment 6f-! the license vfee; but, thejaw provides also that any man, who hasbeen convicted of .violating any of theprovisions of the license law shall forfeitbis license at once and shall never againbe granted a license in that state. Thislaw has been found to work perfectly.It gives to every man exactly the samerights to engage in the hotel or Jiquorbusiness that every other man possesses;ifytakeB away from judges the power tofoster a monopoly ; it relieves men wbowant licenses from exorbitant charges ontlie part of lawyers who have pulls withthe court; and it takes the liquor busi-ness wholly out of politics. '

* * •It does more than this. It puts the

liquor business on exactly the same basisas every other business, where com-petition] governs the number of businessplates of each kind. It decreases courtexpenses and it does this in two ways,both of which benefit the communitywhile reducing taxation. It puts anend to disorderly house cases, for whereany man can get a license by paying forit there is not the incentive to illegalliquor selling which otherwise wouldprevail. On the other hand the pro-vision of the law prohibiting personscdnvicted of violating the license lawsfrom getting another license, makes li-censees extremely careful as to the man-ner in which their placeB are conducted jand the higher standard of conductinglicensed places' works for good in thecommunity, outside of the lessening oftaxation.

" » # #THE REGISTER, believes that a license

law of this kind would be as advan-tageous in New Jersey aa it has provedto be in other Btates where it has beentried. It would.: perhaps cause someconfusion for a (few months, while tliechanges from the present methods tothe new plan were being made. Butthat it would put an end to injustice inlicense matters, that it would diminishthe number of court scandals, and thatit would decrease taxation, is not onlywarranted by inference, but is absolutelyproven by.tho experience of the stateswhoro this law has been in force.

There's another way and a betterWay. When you want anything,put an advertisement in the wantcolumns of THE REGISTER. NOmatter what it is you wanr, some-body lias got just tfiat thing. It isjust possible sometimes that no oneof the 2,706 families that take THEREGISTER has the thing you areafter; but if any of them has.gotit, you are likely to get what youwant by putting_an advertisementin THE REGISTER'S want column.

Getting things one way costs agood deal in lawyers' charges, andit sometimes costs even more thanthat. Getting things by puttingan advertisement in THE REGIS-TER'S want column costs you onlyv25 cents, cash. . ,

One reason why it pays so wellto advertise in THE REGISTER isbecause so many people talfe thepaper. There is hardly aiamily inall this part of Monmouth countywhere THE REGISTER is not thefavorite family paper.

' The Lessons of the Election;-"'{From the February Forum.) {

Now that the ballots have beencounted, and that both parties have beenshown to be lees acceptable to the coun-try then they were four years ago, it isreasonable to call a truce. When thewinner polls fewer, votes relatively andthe loser fewer absolutely than fouryears earlier, there is scant reason forboasting on either side.' -

The most emphatic lesson to be readin the returns is the great force of partyspirit—a spirit which finds its manifes-tation as much in hatred and distrust ofthe historic antagonist a.s in devotion to'one'D own party. The votes polled by thefour or five "third parties" were nu-merically insignificant. Voters who werewhollybut of sympathy with their ownparty stayed at home, and good judgesestimate this stay-at-home vote at1,250,000. Voters who in years of greaterpolitical excitement left their own partyfor the opposition seem in the main tohave returned to their original affilia-tions. In 1892 there were over a millionPopulist votes cast, drawn mainly fromthe Republican party. Most of these, itis evident, have returned to the latteragain; for, while many of the most ableamong the Populist leaders-gave theirsupport to Mr. Bryan, the long-timePopulist States, like Kansas and Ne-braska, were carried by the Republicans.The return to the party of the goldDemocrats who abandoned it in 18b6 isindicated by Mr. Bryant marked gainsin all the Eastern States where that ele-ment is strong, as well as by the greatnumber of newspapers which in 1S00gave him their support after having bit-terly antagonized him four years earlier.No one who thoughtfully observed theprogress of the campaign can doubt thatthousands of Republicans, particularlyin the East, voted for Mr. McKinley un-willingly, while disapproving of hisforeign policy. Equally true it Is thatthousands pf Democrats, chiefly in theSouth, voted for Mr. Bryan, while, op-posing his convictions on expansion andthe money question. The force of partyspirit held these Voters in line for theregular nominee of their party. How-ever much they disagreed wiih him on"paramount issues," their distrust andeven hatred of the rival party dominatedtheir political actions. Senator Hoargave nn excellent illustration of thismental attitude in his effort to reconcileearnest anti-imperialism with active sup-port of President McKinley.

The most notable lesson of the elec-tion, then, is that marked defectionsfrom a normal party vote can only beexpected in times of great popular ex-citement, springing from commercialand industrial distress, or, perhaps,from the imminence of war. A moralissue alone does not win American votesfrom their party allegiance.

One of the "lessons" which we areexpected to read in the record of thelate election is that the Democratic

Surty must abandon its "socialistic ten-encies." I do not wish to discuss here

the merits of socialism; but any onewho will contrast Democratic and Re-publican legislation and platforms mustbe convinced that the Democratic partyia far behind its rival on the socialistic)path. The fact of the matter is that thotendency of the publio mind today isunmistakably socialistic—if we uao thoword ns it is commonlv employed tosignify tho extension of governmentalfunctions to tho rendering of publioservices hitherto performed by privatongencies. Tho day of municipal soolnl-iam—ns indicated by publicly ownod gasand clcctrio lighting .plants, v?aterworks, baths, libraries, and playgrounds—is already with us. The measuro ofnational socialism, comprehended by'government ownership of tclograplm nndtelephones, tlio parcels post, and postiiravings hanks, has beon long a matter ofeoriouti political discussion,

lONMOUTH'S INHABITANTS;THE COMPLETE POPULATION

RETURNS AT HAND. •

An Interesting Studu of the Growthof Population Alpna Shore, andof the Decline of Poptilatioh-inthe Inland Townships.The complete census returns from New

Jersey for 1900 have been received, sofar as the enumeration of the populationis concerned. The tables, thus far athand do not give the age, sex, color, or•other similar facts connected with thepopulation, but they give simply thenumber of inhabitants of each borough,town and city, and the population ofthat part of every township which is notincluded in any incorporated town orborough; • •

In order'to make up a table for com-parison with the census returns of for-mer years a great amount of figuring is

. necessary, particularly in a county likeMOD mouth, where a large number oftowns and boroughs have been incorpor-ated during the past ten yeara. The fol •lowing table BUOWS the population ofeach of the townships of Montnouthcounty in 1900, 1890 and' 1880. Thistable includes the entire population of

. alltownjs, boroughs and villages in eachtownship, as well as the population ofthose parts of each township not in-cluded in any town or village. Thepopulations of the various townships forlflOO have been accurately compiled fromthe tablesf uraisbed by tbecensusbureau,while the population in 1890 and 1880 istaken from the census reports of thoseyears :

1900. 1890. 1880..Atlantic . . . 1 ,410 1.5U8 ,1,740Bltontown. 8,021 2,953x2,04-.!fceehnld 6.108 5.(197 4,3ttSHoltfidel 1.190 1.470 1,575Howell . . . 3 . 1 0 3 3,018 8,874Manalapan 1,851 a.OOJ - 2,175

Totals 82.057 69,128 55,038

One of the most noticeable things intins table is the uniformity with whichthe inland townships have decreased inpopulation. Atlantic, Holmdel, Howell,Manalapau, Marlboro, Millstone and Up-per Freehold townships all have lesspopulation than thev had in 1880. Mata-wan township gained from 1880 to 18U0,but it lost; from 1890 to 1000. Freeholdtjwnsbip grew rapidly from 1890, but itgrew very little between 1880 arid 1000.All the shore townships show an in-crease. • ••:••-:-. -:'-' ••> v'-.v •• ••-..

The township o( Millstone'shows: agreater proportionate loss than any othertownship in the county. The people ofthat township, in speaking- of the de-rreatjed value of farm land there, havealways declared that the township waslosing its population rapidly, but thecensus returns show that the loss ofpopulation has been greater than wassupposed. During the last twenty years

. the township has lost more than one-quarter, of its population, the loss beingVi per cent. The population of thattownship, which was 2,030 in 1880, haddropped to 1,509 in 1000. Out of every100 persons living in that township in1880, ruorethan27havem6vedaway dur-ing the past twenty years. A great manyof the young men of the township movedto Asbury Park while that town wasgrowing its fastest, and when the oldfolks on the farfis died off there was noone left at home to take their places.

< The result is that abandoned farms andvacant farm houses are scattered all overMillstone township.

Next to Millstone township, Holmdeltownship is the greatest loser in popula-tion. This township has lost one-fourthof its residents in twenty years. In 1880it had 1,575 residents, while in 1900 ithad 1,190. This is a loss of 885 persons.One of the residents of Holmdel town-ship, in speaking of the loss of popula-tion in that township a few days ago,said that while the value of farm landshad decreased, thnt was not the princi-pal cause of the loss of population. Hesaid the farm lands of tlolmdel town-ship were so productive that there werevery few abandoned farms in that town-ship. Many of the farms are very large,and a great deal of help bad to be em-ployed to run them ^successfully, Heattributed the loss of populution largelyto the introduction of' labor-saving ma-chinery, by means of which farms couldbe run with much less help than for-merly. He said also that twenty yearsago many of the farmers carted greatquantities of marl on,their forms, andthat this required the employment ofmore men than at present. Many of themen employed in hauling marl were

i kept on the farms the year round, andmany of them had families. When thefarmers caivscd to uso marl extensivelyand began tho use of chemical fertilizers,tho mon employed in carting marl had1

to Qnd work olsowhero and their famil-ies moved awuy with thorn.

Marlboro township is Bituated abouttho samo as Holmdol township nnd theconditions which would cause, a loan ofpopulation In ono township would resultsimilarly In tho other. Marlboro town-ship, lileo Holmdel. haB many largofarms, und tho introduction of lalwr sav-ing" machinery «nd tho doorcasod UBO of

• marl as a fortilizor linnrcducod tho num-ber of men employed, Marlboro's pro-portionate, loss line not beon tm groat asthat of Holmdol, but it hns boon nearlyHO. Whilo Holmdol lost one-fourth of•its population in tho past twenty years,Marlboro has lout ono-llfth of its popula-tion. ,

Atlantic townehlp Is situated like

Holmdel and Marlboro, It is a farmingcommunity and its loss of population has.been almost as great as that of Marlboro.The population dropped from 1,743 in1880 to 1,505 in' 1890. Ten years later,in 1900, the population had been stillfurther reduced to 1,410. The loss of;population in Holmdel and Marlborotownship has been uniform during thepast twenty years, but in Atlantic town-ship-the loss was greatest between 188Qand 1890, the loss since 1890 being but95.

"Manalapan township has lost fifteenper cent of its population since 1880.Statistics of the eastern' part of. theUnited States show that all farming com-munities are losing their population andthat the big towns absorb the populationwhich is lost to the farms. Manalapantownship has one comparatively largetown. This is the incorporated boroughof Englisbtown. This borough hap lostin population at about the same rate asthereat of the township, the entire lossof population in the town and townshioduring the past twenty years beirjg 820."

Upper Freehold township, which isalso a farming community and which,like Manalapan township, has one largeincorporated town, shows almost aslarge a rate of loss as Manalapan town-ship.. The incorporated town is Allen-town. It was not Incorporated ten yearsago, and hence it is impossible to tellwhat the proportionate loss of populationin the town has been. Upper Freeholdtownship is larger than Manalapan, andthe ratio of loss ia thirteen per'cent.The total actual loss is 429 in the twentyyears, out of a population of 3,286.

Howell township, is the only othertownship in addition to those mentionedwhich shows a falling off from the cen-sus of 1880. It had a big falling off inpopulation between 1880 and 1890, butafter 1890 the population began to pickup. The decrease in population from1880 to 1900 haB been about eight per cent.The eastern end of Howell township isbeginning to feel the effects of the greatincrease of population alongshore. It isthis growth which has shopped the de-oline of population in Howell townshipand which has started it on the -road toan increase.

Of the townships, which show an in-crease in population none can compurewith Neptune. That was practically avirgin field thirty years ago. By 1875Asbury Park had begun to make itsrapid growth, and in 1880 the populationef Neptune township had reached 4,187.It more than doubled in population in theten years from 1880 to 1890, and in, thesucceeding ten years it nearly doubled itspopulation again.' It is now only 474behind Ocean township, and its growth,as evidenced by the annual school cen-suses, shows no signs of diminution.

Ocean township.keeps the, lead as thetownship in Montnouth county with thelargest population. In 1880 Shrewsburytownship had 499 residents more thanOcean township. At that tithe, nnd formany years previously, Shrewsburytownship was the largest in populationin Monmoutb county. By 1883 Oceantownship had out-stripped Shrewsburytownship, a d ever since that timeOcean township Las maintained theleading position. In 1890 it had nearly2,000 inhabitants more than Shrewsbury,and in 1900 it had over 5.000 more resi-dents than Shrewsbury. Neptune, Oceanand Wall townships, and in some degreeMiddletown township also, get a highrating in population because of the timeof year when the census is taken. Thecensus is taken in June, when many ofthe summer residents have come downfor the season, and they are reckoned inas part of the population of those town-ships.

Shrewsbury township jogs along atan even gait. It grows slowly in com-parison with Neptune and Ocean town-ships, but its growth is natural andsteady. I t has increased in populationabout fifty per cent in the past twentyyears. Judging from the sale of lots inand around Red Bank during the pastfall and winter and from the number ofhouses which are to be put up the comingspring, the growth is continuing.Shrewsbury township has 9,270 resi-dents, according to the census of lastyear, which is 2,744 more than it had in1880. It is third in population in thecounty.

Middletown has grown rapidly, princi-pally at Atlantic Highlands, Belford,Port Monmouth and the Highlands ofNavmtnk. There has been some growthin other parts of the township, but it isprincipally along shore that the popula-tion has increased. The population oftho township increased, from 5,0.r>9 in1880 to 8,090 in 1900,' an increase ofabout sixty per cent. Atlantic High-lands,' which WOB hardly in existence in1880, now has a population of 1,888, andthis accounts for nearly half the increaseof population in tho township. Thegrowth at Belford, Port Monmouth andthe Highlands, while not so great as atAtlnntlo Highlands, huB still been'verylarge. Middletown is tho fourth town-ship in population in the county.

Tho rour townships of Middletown,Shrewsbury, Ocean and Neptune cbntninconsiderably moro than half tho popula-tion of tho county. A comparison of thegrowth of these four townships with therent of the county shows how rapidlythiB section Is increasing. In 1880 thesefour townships contained 21,709 inlmblt-tuntu, which was 80 per oont of tho pop-ulation of tho county, In 1800 tho pop-ulation had increased to 1)11,004, whiohwas47 por oontof the totiil population ofttiocounty. Laatycnr the population was45,098. This wus 00 per cent of tho totalpopulation of tho county. In ten yearnmoro, if the samornto of Inorcaso Ismaintained, theno four townships willhave, two-thirds of tho entiro populationof the county.

Wall township la making a good show-

ing in its growth. That township is fullof little boroughu and settlements, all ofwhich are growing fast'. Manasquan isan old-established tciwnv which is'run Onold-established lines; - and which showsvery little increase' {Depopulation. Infact it shows no increase at all, for itdropped back 6 in population from 1890to 1900, the population1 being '1.506 in1890 and an even 1,500 fnl900;. But Bel-mar and Spring Lake are growing fast,and the wholeiBhbre//country betweent h e s e t o w n s i s l i k e w i s e , b e i n g r a p i d l y s e t -t l e d . , . ' • > •••'• ••' • •' ••'••'••" • Raritan township .grew rapidly between'1880 and 1890, and added 902, orabout 25 per cent, to its population be-tween those years. ' From 1890 to 1900the growth was very slow, the increasein population being only 158, or aboutthree per cent. Keyport is the principaltown in Raritan township, and this townhas shown a change Of-only 2 in popula-tion during the p^st ten years. Raritantownship is well situated, but somehowit has failed to " catch on." •..'.'.

Eatontown township; to the surpriseof many people, shows an increase inpopulation since 1890;- The increase issmall, it being only 68-; but most peoplethought that with the closing of Mon-mouth Park so many people, had movedaway as to cut dovvn the ; population ofthe township considerably below what itwas in 1880. The fact that Eatontownhas increased in population in'spite ofthe closing of Monmoufch Park showsthat the prosperity of the township mustrefit on a more substantial basis than hadbeen supposed. Whatever may havebeen the temporary slump in populationin 1894 and 18U5, immediately after Mon-mouth Park was closed, it has been morethan made up since.'that time; Eaton-town borders on both .Shrewsbury andOcean, and the conditions which causethe great increase in population inthese two townships must have its effecton Eatontown also. '.• ."''••

Matawan township i s ' sliding down-hill, and sliding down, pre'tty-fast. Itmust have had quite a boom between1880 and 1890, for it jaoreased in popu-lation 484 in those four years.' FromlcOO to 1900 it dropped1 back 362; Thetown, of Matawan itself has about stoodstill, i t having increased;, in populationonly 20 during the past ten years. Thattown increased in population only 54during the ten years from 1880 to 1890,so that the fluctuation'of the populationof the township has been almost whollyoutside of the borough. This territory istributary to the town of Matawan, how-ever, and the loss of. population in thetownship must have affected the businessof the town. Many of the big businessplaces of the town were burned "downlast week, and the census bulletin justpublishedjihowing a falling,off of overone-eighth in the population of the town-ship 8ifla5 1890* will not encouragei thosewho were burned out' to irebuijd.. In acommunity where the population steadilygrows less, the number of possible, cus-tomers at a.store must constantly dimin-ish, and there can be but little incentiveto erect hew'stores in a communitywhere there are less possible customerseach year than there were the year be-fore. '

Freehold is the only one of what isknown as the inland townships whichhas shown a"n increase in population dur-ing the past twenty years. There was abig increase in population from 1880 to1890, during which decade the big shirtfactory was established there. That in-crease was 795. The town of Freeholditself increased in population 502 duringthose ten years. But from 1890 to 1900the increase was trifling, the town andtownship combined gaining only. 71.This is much less than the natural in-crease from births would be, and it indi-cates that people are moving out of thetownship and seeking employment andhomes elsewhere.

The figures which appear in the 1900annual.statement of, the Prudential in-surance company shows a'state of affairswhich should appeal strongly t o ' tbegreat army of policy-holders who'areinsured jn that' company. • Twenty-fiveyears ago the'Prudential started in asmall way in Newark. To-day as a re-sult of careful and business like manage-ment it ranks among the great life insur-ance companies of the world. In the25th annual statement just issued thePrudential has increased its assets toover $40,000,000, its surplus to over$6,000,000, while it has paid its policy-holders in 25 years almost $50,000,000In 1900 it wrote and placed over $249-000,000 of insurance. Its income in theclosing year of the century aggregatedover $24,000,000. The 4,000,000 andmore policies in force represent a totalamount of insurance-in force of over.$604,000,000. The Prudential has earnedfor itself a richly-deserved reputationfor strength and security.

A PROSPEROUS CHURCH.

The Bed Bank Baptist Church' . Jtlakea n Good Showing.

In the annual report just issued bythe. Monmouth association of Baptistchurches the Bed Bank Baptist church.makes a verv creditable showing. Thechurch 8tan58 first in membership, firstin the amount of money raised for cur-;

rent expenses and. for church debt; first1n" the • value -of churoh7 property,"anclfifth in the amount of money raised forbenevolences. The church has thelargest Christian Endeavor society ofany in the association and the secondlargest Sunday-school.

The membership of the Red BankBaptist church is 517. The Freeholdchurch is second with a membership of498, and the Asbury Park churcn isthird with a membership of 348. Theamount raised by the Red'Bank churchduring the year for. current expenseswas $8,314.99. The Freehold churchraised $2,551.66 and tbe Central Baptistchurch of Atlantic Highlands' raised$2,146.99. In the amount raised forchurch debt the Red Bank church is 'way-ahead, a special effort during the yearhaving resulted in the raising of$10,104.3a. In the amount raised forbenevolences the Holmdel church is firstwith $B72. The Keyport church issecond with $4S0 and the Middletownchurch is third with $439. Red Bank isfifth with $234. Red Bank's low stand-ing in this respect is accounted for tosome extent by the extra effort madeduring the year in wiping out the churchdebt. ' ' '

WORKING FOR THE POOR.A MEW ORGANIZATION IN BED

BANK.

Tit 3 Homeward Bound ChristianMtuston Starts a Branch in theDomett Buiiatng-irreqeMng theGospel and Helping the Xeedu.For the past two weeks or so the

Homeward Bound Christian Mission hashad a branch of its organization in RedBatik, and has been holding meetings.The mission ia organized on the sameplan as the Salvation Army and theVolunteers of America, but jt is lessnoisy than they in the prosecution of itswork. The meeting rooms of the organ-ization are ia the Dorsett building at thecorner of Won mouth street and Mapleavenue, and the efforts of. the organiza-tion are devoted chiefly ro the relief ofthe unfortunate and distressed. Theirwork is philanthropic in its character,and the members of the'organizationserve without compensation, Theirboard and clothes are obtained by dona-tions from the residents of towns wherethey prosecute their work.'.

.,' The Bed Bank branch of the organiza-tion was started in Bed Bank about two•weeks ago uy Capt. Wantling of LongBranch, who is in charge of all the dis-tricts in the state of New Jersey. Hecame to Bed Bank and engaged therooms for the organization. The RedBank branch is at present in charge• oftwo young women, Superintendent Royseand Assistant Superintendent Sanderson.Superintendent Royse expects to go toWashington shortly. It may_ be that theassistant' superintendent will also betransferred to another field and that aMan and hie wife will be stationed atRed Bank. . , .

The local branches of the organizationare supported wholly by voluntarydonations from the people of the townswhere the branches are located. TheRed Bank branch has been fairly wellsupported since it came to Red Bank,and branches are maintained in eachtown as long as it is believed that thework done there is productive of good.The work of the mission is not solely tobring the truths of the gospel to thosewho would not otherwise hear thesetruths preached; but it is also to fill thestomachs of the hungry and to clothe thebacks of the naked. Tours through thetowns are made by those in charge ofthe missions and wherever a family isfound that is suffering from want, aneffort is made to relieve the distress.Donations of food, money and cluthingare solicited, and from these donationsthe wants "of those in need are" supplied.If the supplies on hand at any time arenot sufficient to relieve these needs, orif some special need is discovered,special requests are made for the articleswanted. In obtaining supplies a canvassof the town fiom house to.house is made.The women in charge of the work atRed Bank say that most of their suppliescome, from those who ore in medium"circumstances. Donations from thewealthier people are small, as are thosereceived from the very poor.

The mission holds meetings everynight except Wednesday night. A col-lection is taken up each night, and thiscollection, w,hils small, goes into thegeneral fund of the mission for the sup-port of its members and for nee in chari-

• table work. No meeting is held onWednesday nights because the prayerme 'tipgs of the churches are usuallyheld on Wednesday night and the mis-sion does not wish to interfere with the

• church meetings. Every Saturday nightthe mission holds an out-door meeting.These meetings in Red Bank have thusfar been held at the fountain at the cor-ner of Broad and Front streets. Fiveconverts have been made at the meetingsheld at the rooms of the mission.Three of these converts are men and twoare women. Usually most of the con-verts are women. The custom of the or-ganization after making converts is tohold the converts for a while until it iscertain that their conversion is perma-nent, and the converts are then advisedto join one of the churches of the town.

An entertainment is to be given in themission rooms to-morrow night. Ashort lecture will be given by Capt:Wantling on the organization and itsmethods, and there will be music, includ-ing singing by a tenor singer from Wash-ington.

It is the intention of the national or-ganization to found ahome for those whogrow old in the service and for thosewho meet with accidents while workingfor the organization, As the memberswork without compensation except theirbare living they have no opportunity tolay up anything for old age or for a time'of especial need, and the founding ahome is necessary to ensure them protec-tion from future wonts.

HE DESPOILED HOLLY TREE.

Lufburrow Tells Some factsConcerning Its History. •

'o THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER:I would like to make a statement con-

cerning the holly tree onroyfarniwhiohwas stripped of some of its' branchesbout two months ago. My father aidlot plant the, tree, but .when he was aioy,: nearly 100 years ago, the tree hadttained its full size. The property on.Inch that tree stands was owned, be-

ore it came in possession of my father,>y one who fought in the war of 1776,,nd who was one of the bravest arid

most bitter enemies of the British., Theouse which stood only a short distancerom the tree was taken possession ofind occupied by the enemy. '• No doubthat tree was known and its beauty ad-

mired by them. The past fifty years,during which time I can well remember,hat tree has been visited by hundreds of

people, none of whom would think ofmarring its beauty. Its trunk was used

s a tablet, on which the initials of visit-irs' names were carved. The partiesho tore the branches from the tree andho should have been sleeping, instead

if destroying my property, did not wisho be prosecuted, but were anxinus toettle by paying a certain sum of money,ind the amount offered was no more;han has been repeatedly refused for theree. I agreed to the compromise ha good'aitb. Some who are not acquainted

itb the circumstances feel disposed to•riticise me, while others who know theacts* think the despoilers of the tree'ibould have served a term in prison..

Women's HOSIER.Yh i ' • » • • • • » ' . . I . -

There'B no particular season of the year de-voted to replenishing one's stock of hosiery. Itis done mostly when your stockings wear out—anthey're sure to, some time. These stockings ofours last as long as any—maybe a little longer..They're selected by us with that end in view.And there's a fine all-the-year-round collectionhere for yon to choose from, at prices whichyou'll find it difficult to match elsewhere.

Here are a few kinds ttat are particularlyseasonable; reasonably priced?too:

At 25c—worth «oc; women's lisle thread stockings,fine guage, fast black, plain or Richelieu ribbed,'

Atj8c-jpalra for Si; women's fast black cash-mere stockings, narrow ribbed; usually 50c.

At 50c—Women's fast black cashmere stockings,plain; with double solei'and high spliced heels.

ICOLLAR.S forIt was a great achifcvement when we succeed-

ed in inducing a manufacturer of men's collarsto make for us the excellent grade of all-linencollars we are now selling at two' for 25c, No25-cent collar on the market equals them. Oneequally interesting is our present offering of

Men's Collars a t 6 for 55c. .Ttey are not "bargain" collars, nor a job

lot, but made especially to OUT order for theJanuary White Sale by this same manufacturer.Hence they are in the latest styles, accurate insizes, and litiett. We believe this can be saidof no other collar, except our 2 for 25-centkind, that is sold for less than a quarter in NewYork today.

In three styles—straightstanding, Piccadilly,or turnover points, and high turndown, in all.sizes and a Variety o£ heights. Sold only by thebox of half a dozen at 6 for 55c.

Black Crepcms, $1.50|Luxurious, rich, black silk-and-wool crepons,

the regular price of which is $3 a.yard, havehad a new, almost absurdly low price placedupon them— _.

.$1,50 a yardIf the maker hadn't thought he could sell

more of them at $3 a yard, this story wouldn'tbe told. He put a good three dollars' worthinto them, too,

They are 42 inches wide, in eleven handsome patterns, mostly in striped .effects. -

who has an eye : to her best interests will dowisely in considering these prices in connectionwith her needs in lice window curtains andportieres.

IN THE COUNTY JAIL.

JEctttor Poole Give a a Description of• Life There..

Joseph A.Poole, the editor of the LongBranch Press, who is spending thirtydays in the county jail as the result of thelibel proceedings brought against himby Mayor Morris of Long Branch, pub-lished in his paper last week a humorousdescription of the jail and of the cus-toms there. The jailerisGeorge Brannin,formerly of Atlantic Highlands, and Mr.Brannin'a friends, as well as those peoplegenerally who are not familiar with theway the jail is conducted, will find Mr.Poolo's account entertaining.

"Hotel Brannin," he says, " i s situ-ated in the rear of the courthouse atFreehold. It is probably the only abso-lutely flro and burglar proof hotel inMoninouth county, and it probably isthe only one which is never devoid ofguests to the number of fifty or more.

"The proprietor, Mr.' George Brannin,invariably assures each person whocomes to board at the hotel that ho willtake care of him or her. But when theyleave they have not, for the most part,any desire for more of its hospitableshelter; though there are some who doreturn to escape the night air and bitingfrost.

"Mr, Brannjn's guests comprise thoseof nearly every walk in life, inoludlngthe man who borrows another's horsewithout his knowledge; the man whotakes things; the man who has imbibedfrom the flowing bowl and in conse-'quonco becomos to demonstrative abouthis neighbor's nose and eyes; tho manwho loves another man's wife j theman who bundles pasteboards for a liv*ing; and tbo man who says things aboutanothor.

•'Nonrly every nationality and both,Hoxf!B,whlt6andblaclc,uro accommodatedat this lioBtolry, which can always be on-torod by pwsHinK tho button, but whichcannot bo departed, from until tho tlinolioa oxplred for which bourdvniaB boenengaged for you. '

"Crodontlaln or an oncort always ae-compnny a new guest at tliiH hotol, Thoproprietor is ttlwnyo in tho hallway toreoL'ivo you and to BUO that you arc prop-orly registered,

"Tho genial proprietor turns you ovor

to one of his assistants inside the greatiron door at the main entranoe, and heassigns you to your room amid suchcheering exclamations as ' Lock him up,he won't work,'' and they put him in aprison cell,' ' ha—ha' (long drawn out),' Now will you be good,' ' I told you so,'etc., whicli of course makes a personsoon consider himself quite at home.

" The ' rooms' are not BO spacious asto permit of a draught of air whichmight tend to give guests the grip oreven a hea vy cold. A guest can feel per-fectly safe from the attempts of burglars,as the rooms are encased in iron in sucha way as to make entrance or exit impossible when the doors are shut.

" In the rooms are iron beds, whichrecently have become the rage in well-appointed hotels. The mattresses are ofthe narrow variety and of straw, themanager no doubt thinking feathers unhealthy. A pillow to match the mat-tress, and a blanket built on the order ofan army blanket, completes the.outfitupon which to seek rest and quiet medi-tation, either day or night, or both.Each room contains a toilet and washbowlof iron, porcelain lined. The floors,as in all fireproof hotels, are of tile, thetiles being about a yard equure. Betweenthe rooms and the main wall of the build-ing are corridors or promenades, alsotiled, where the guests may exercisewhen they feel so inclined and minglewith their fellow boarders.

"Th«ouisin,o department of the hotelia presided ovtr by a snilor chef and anassistant. Meals are served promptly,and to satisfy tho most fastidious guesteach has a cup and pun, nickel plated,in'which their meals are served to thempersonally. This is accomplished by thogueate forming in line in the corridorand advancing to a wlokct nonr tho office.This wioltot in just largo enough to per-mit tho entrance of tho pan.

MAKING CIDER AND VINEGAR.

A Profitable Side-Line 0/ a TintonFalls Farm.

In almost every business there is apossibility of conducting some branch ofindustry as a side-issue, and this side-issue sometimes becomes nearly as profit-able as the main industry itself. Anexample of this is seen in the cider andvinegar business of Thomas} and FrankJohnson at Tinton Falls. Tho Johnsonsown a big farm, and from making a littlecider and vinegar for their own use andfor their neighbors, the business hasgrown into quite large porportions. Theynow make about a thousand barrels a yearin gpod apple years. The machinery isworked by horse-power, with the old-fashioned wooden sweep. The cider andvinegar mnde by the Johnsons has ac-quired u local reputation, and a greatdeal of it is sold to tho stores along theshore. Tho demand for the goods hasgrown without anyspeoial effort on thepart of the Johnsons, and simply fromthe good quality of the goods themselves.

AN ARTIFICIAL ICE PLANT.

It la Being Built at Long Branchat a Cost of 800,000.

Work has been begun on the new arti-ficial ice plant for the Monmouth icecompany at Long Branch. The plantwill cost about $60,000 and it will oc-cupy a space of 100x228 feet. The tanksfor freezing purposes will occupy a Bpace25x150 feet and the balance of the spacewill be taken up by machinery, coaldu nps, coolers, etc. The plant will havea capacity of fifty tous office a day.The ice will not be made in cakes, as arti-ficial ice is ordinarily manufactured, butwill be frozen in large blocks. Theseblocks will be sixteeu feet long and tenfeetwide, and a block will weigh seventons. The freezing power will be pro-duced by an even circulation of brine ata temperature of five degrees through asystem of pipes in submerged tanks.When the blocks are drawn from thetanks they will be cut into a size con-venient for handling. The managers ofthe ice company say that artificial icecannot be produced any chpaper thanthe natural product can be harvested,but the growing demand from the sum-mer residents of the shore towns forartificial ice will make the establishmentof such a plant a profitable enterprise.

Thomas Garvey of Navesink harvestedabout 350 tons of ice from his pond be-tween noon on Sunday and three o'clockon Monday morning. Mr. Garvey hadgone to considerable expense this winterin constructing a pond and building abig ice house and be WHB very anxiousto get the ice house filled. The firsttime this winter that ice froze a sufficientthickness to be harvested Mr. Garvey'spond was so covered with floating debristhat had rose from the bottom of thenew pond that the ice could not be cutand the1 pond had to be drained off.Sunday morning the ice had reached athickness of from five to six inches andMr, Garvey arranged to begin harvest-ing the ice on Monday morning. Whenthe weather conditions on Sunday morn-ing changed and indicated a storm, Mr.Garvey decided to begin cutting ice atonce. He marked out the ice with anice plow and at noon a force of sixteenmeii were at work. These sixteen menworked until three o'clock Mondaymorning, by which time850 tonsof fyieice had been harvested. It was ex-pected to have another force of men goto work at three o'clock Monday morn-ing but the storm prevented and thework was abandoned. N

Thomas Dowd and George Mackey ofAtlantic Highlands, also cut ice fromtheir ponds on Sunday.

Oscar Hesse and the Monmouth icecompany harvested ice on Sunday fromMr. Hesse's pond in Middletown town-ship. Altogether about 800 tons of icewere harvested d uring the day and night.Ice was also harvested on Sunday froma number of the smaller ponds in thispart of the county.

On Sunday the saloons and hotels wereclosed as tight as a drum and AsburyPark visitors who were wont to enjoythe privileges of '.' open house " on Sun-day in the home of Mayor Morris andEditor Poole were driven to the verge ofpartial collapse in a vain hunt for " wetgoods."

Purposes, Fruit Picking, Farming and General Use.

We haVe bought a stock of Extension Ladders such as areshown in the accompanying picture. They are the handiest,strongest, simplest, most convenient and most. easily oper-ated Extension Ladders we ever saw. When they are upthey are as strong as a single ladder of the full length. Theirconvenience is shown by the fact that an extension laddercomposed of two 12-foot sections will reach any point between12 feet and 21 feet. '

The operator can raise or lower the upper section to anydesired point from the ground by means of the rope shownin the picture. The locks are provided with a durable springhook which grasps |ach round of the stationery Jadder as thetraveling ladder pisses upward. It is also provided with atripper which forces the hook back, allowing it to pass therounds when descending. These locks are securely fastenedto the inner sides of the upper section, one on each side.They are made of the best malleable iron and so constructedas to produce the best possible results.

The ladders vary in price according to length. A ladderof two 12-foot sections, with a reach of 21 feet, costs $6.00, while a'ladderof two 26-foot sections, with a reach of 47 feet, costs $18.20, Every house-hold, every mechanic, every painter, every farmer, should have one or moreof these ladders. ,

A CONFIRMED BACHELOK.

HOW A SCOPFEE WAS TREBLY KEWARDED.

JEdmond de Verneull had thrown him-self Int6 an easy chair with hie chi-bouk and, through the wreaths ofBmoke ascending from the. fragrantweed, eat staring. In astonishment athis friend, Louis Duvlvten Neither'ofthe men had spoken for some moments.At last De Verneull said, with a with-ering look of pity:

"And so you'have really determinedto throw yourself into the matrimonialsea. Poor,' unfortunate man! I hadhoped better things for you."

"Thanks,"«seplied Duvivier sharply."Jour compliment at least possessesthe merit of riot being banal. I an-nounce to you my approaching mar-riage with a charming girl whom Iadore, and you have nothing to offerbut lamentations." ^-^

"My friend," said De Verneull, plac-ing his pipe on the inlaid taboret be-side him, "I never play the hypocrite.It is a part I have always eschewed,and upon such a sorrowful announce-ment I can only offer, my mos| sincerecondolence."

Duvivler looked somewhat annoyedas he listened, but the shadow of impa-tience soon passed away, and he de-scribed In glowing terms the beauty of.his young fiancee, Mile. Helene De-schamps. '

"Soimuch the worse," said the crustybachelor. "Your case, which at firstseemed only dangerous, is now incura-ble, and your happiness, which appear-ed probable, Is' now no longer possible,To have, a pretty wife, sir, Is to be de-voured by jealousy."" "Mile. Deschamps is wealthy nndpossesses a fortune in her own right,"calmly observed Duvivler, withoutcommenting on his friend's remarks.

"Then, with her luxurious and ex-pensive tastes, she will simply ruinyou, my dear follow," retorted De Ver-neull.

But Louis Duvivler did not intendto be disturbed by Bdrnond de Ver-neuil's bitter comments and followedthe (announcement of his fiancee'swealth by declaring that her mammawas charming. \

"Then yon will have that bete noire,a mother-in-law," growled De Verneuil,"Your ruin Is complete, old fellow, andI haven't the slightest hope for you.". Diivlvier laughed good naturedl'y andassured De Verneull that; notwithstand-ing his paradoxes, he expected him tobe present nt the- wedding and to act asgroomsman. "You are my oldest andbest friend, Eilraond," said be coax-Ingly, "and for these reasons you oughtnot to refuse my request."

"And precisely for these reasons Imust decline," tartly respouded DeVerneuil, ''for I should feel as thoughI were assisting at your electrocution."

"Then If you will not consent to actas best man," said Duvivier, withgenuine disappointment, "promise atleast to be present at the wedding."

De Vernouil looked nt him for a mo-ment without answering. He was real-ly fond of Louis Duvivier, and theirfriendship had been one of long stand-ing. He disliked to appear uncivil, sofinally he said, "Well, perhaps, but donot count on my coming."

"Decidedly!" exclaimed Duvivler, allttlu vexed. "You are still an antago-nist to matrimony."

"Irrevocably," was the laconic an-swer of De Verneull.

"Then you never intend to marry?"asked Duvivler.

"I should- prefer to send a bulletthrough my.brain," promptly answeredDe Verneull. "Expeditious means arepreferable to slow ones," he added em-phatically. . -»•

"Then you propose to remain alwaysIn solitary bliss?" snld Duvivier laugh-ingly.

••' "Pardon me," sald'De Verneull, stop-ping to fill lils pipe, "you should any In-dependent bllHs. Prom a wife, childrenbud family may heaven preserve me!For a wife," he continued, waxing elo-quent, "means loss of liberty and theobligation of following her caprices ln-

, stead of your own. You must go ont'when yon desire to remain In nnd remain In when you wish to go out. Ai

that other delightful appendage of mat'rlmony, a mother-in-law! Why, thevery thought of her makes me shudder.Now you have In a nutshell, my. dear-boy, the wise reasons which preventme-from committing the follyof matri-mony. ' And with a dellclously self satis-fied air. t he sage, crusty bachelor sanknto tie; hollow pf his' easy chair and,

jutting away at his pipe, waited to hearwhat his friend had to say. ,

But Duvivler remained silent, andhe cheerful expression on his bright,

handsome face clearly Indicated thathe. sorrowful picture of matrimony

painted'by-De Yerneull bad failed toimpress him. The latter noted theailure of .his words and determined to

make one more effort.' Rising from hishair, he stationed himself before the

mnntelpjece and, half confidentially,alt; affectionately, begged Duvivier to

jave himself while there was yet "time."Brother," said he, "the other day,

While crossing the Pont Royal, I saw'a man on the point of throwing him-elf into the Seine, when a policemaneized hlmby the Iaper.oftils coat andlulled him back. I would do the same'or you, Edmond," pleaded De Ver-euil earnestly, "pull you back while

there is yet time from the troubledwaters of matrimony."

But JQiivlvler only shook his head in.nswer as he announced gayly his com-

ing marriage to Mile. Helene De-champs on the 17th- of May."Helene-a name of 111 omen!" growl-

id' De,Verneull. with disgust. "Well,hen, If you insist—go to:the.devil—orhe hymeneal altar, which is one and;he same thing."

Edmond de Verneull was fast gallop-^jj)u(i_Qfjife thirties, and the princi-les which he had just laid down were;ho'se which had governed his entirefo and kept him a bachelor in spitef the tempting opportunities whichad come In his way and which he had

repulsed with horror. A few yearsack he had been considered one of thelandsomest men in Paris, and even to-ay his refined air and well groomed

person made him a' marked figure inis drives through the'Bois, which he

;ook with clocklike precision. Rich,ilever and.well known in the fashiona-le world, he had received lnnumera-

>le hints from designings mammas andhe sweetest smiles of encouragementrom their eligible daughters. To the

first he had always been delightfullyracious, particularly when their ad-ances assumed the form of excellent

dinners, but totally indifferent to theatter, scarcely deigning to notice their?resh young faces. With advancingears the dinners and smiles had ceas-

ed, but De Verneuil hardly felt theirbsence. Indeed he congratulated him-elf with pride upon having escaped

tie many ambushes laid by thesedaughters of Eve to entrap him. Su-premely content in his bachelor bliss,he lived entirely alone in his elegantapartment, as free as a bird on themountain tops, following his ownweet caprices, amusing himself with

what pleased him and avoiding all thatwas irksome or tiresome. Shut up se-ure in his egotistical citadel, which he

had built and fashioned with his ownhands, he fancied himself the happiestf mortals in existence.One monftng shortly after Duvivier's

visit, as he sat at the window content-edly smoking his pipe, he was temptedby the inviting March sunshine to take

promenade along the boulevard, buthe treacherous March sun. had deceiv-

ed him, nnd before he had ..gone veryfar he began to feel chilled beneath hisight overcoat, while an unwelcomeneeze'foretold a cold in the head. Like

all egotists, Edmond de Verneull waspainfully careful of his health, so hemmediately dropped, into a cafe and

onlcrtkl a smoking hot punch to wardoff If possible the disastrous effects ofthe chilly air. While he sat languidlysipping Ills drink his eyes rested-on a

ighly colored placard on the oppositewall representing a scries of encbant-ng views on the Mediterranean and

under them this Inscription:

TO THE BLUE COAST.Express trains to Cannes, Nice and Monaco. The

ourney made in 17 hours.

The blue sky, the blue sea, the warmsouthern sunshine, the gorgeous flow-rs of Nice and the perfume of the or-

ange trees all appealed to De Ver-neull's ffisthetic fancy. "There, atleast," he,thought, "I shall be safefrom influenza." And immediately hemade up his mind to go to Nice. Thatvery night his trunks and valises werepacked and strapped by his trust-worthy valet, Pierre, and the nextmorning Edmond do Verneull struttedabout nervously In a luxurious com-partment of the Nice express after hav-ing selfishly strewn his band bnggagoover the unoccupied Bouts In the liopuof securing the entire compartment tohimself. -

But complete happiness does not be

A glance at the child immediatelytold De Verneull that the little fellowwas ill and probably going south insearch of health, and while the twowomen placed, him tenderly ori thecushions and-tucked the light, warmRoman blanket around him De Ver-neull grdwled again to himself. "Acharming voyage I shall have,"thought he, "with a phlegmatic Eng-lishman ahav a. sick child!" And indisgust he left the compartment and•jWent In /Search of another.. But ihesoon returned'in a worse humor, forthe compartments were all filled. Whenthe train started, the disgruntled bach-elor threw open the window to let inthe fresh March air. .But the prettywoman in gray,.in her low, sweet,Eng-llsh voiced begged monsieur to close it,as she feared the air was too strongfor her little boy, and De Verneull,with the politeness of a true chevalier,compiled: with her request. " • ,

No sooner, however, had he done sothan the Englishman, who sat at theopposite end, opened the window nearhim. The two women looked implor-ingly at their countryman, who pre-tended not to see them. De Verneuil,more to annoy the traveling Britonthan to be agreeable to the ladies, de-liberately arose and closed I t TheEnglishman Immediately opened it,and . De Verneuil started again toshut It, saying: "Please remember, sir,that we are not in an English campIn South Africa, b^t In Prance, wherecourtesy is shown to women and chil-dren. Madame fears the air for hersick child, so I hope you will allow thewindow to remain closed."

The little speech produced its. effect,though the gentleman from across thechannel did not reply, but contentedhimself with opening very wide hiseyes in amazement that a Frenchmanshould presume to give an Englishmana lesson in civility. The ladles of coursewere deeply grateful and duly express-ed their thanks, and M. de Verneull re-turned to his seat, experiencing a de-lightful sensation whiah he rarely ,felt—the pleasure of having, rendered aservice to others—and as he resumedhis seat in the corner he began to studythe child, who during all the .commo-tion had remained quietly sleeping.The study fascinated him, and he fan-cied he had never before seen a boyquite so beautiful; the slim, patriciannose and mass of yellow hair resem-bled the fair young mother, who fromtime to time bent over him with an In-terested expression of suffering on herpure, sweet face, as the baby chest wasshaken by a dry cough, which even insleep did not desert him. De Verneull •felt that he was growing desperatelyInterested in the boy, and as thesethoughts flitted through his mind thechild tossed one of his Roman blanketson the floor, when heJ rushed forward,picked it up and tucked it around him.He was amazed at his own tendernessand began to wonder where It wouldeventually lead. The ladles again ex-pressed their appreciation in that soft,sweet English voice so much admiredon the continent.

At Dijon De Verneull left the com-partment, and when he returned hebrought with him a large box of bon-bons, which, with the mother's permis-sion, he offered to the child. The candydelighted the little fellow; he grewanimated and the color came againinto his pale, emaciated little cheeksas he smiled with pleasure and fixedhis great blue eyes on Edmond de Ver-neuil with that profound depth of ex-pression, which children's eyes alonepossess and which seems to .hide aworld of thought. The bonbons hadopened the way for a conversation be-tween M. de Verneuil and the ladies.Naturally the child's health became theabsorbing topic, and the interestedbachelor learned that inadame had loBther husband three years before andthat some weeks previous to their jour-ney to Prance little Arthur had had asevere attack of bronchitis, which upto date had defied the assiduous nurs-ing of his mamma and grandmother.Therefore he had been ordered by hisEnglish doctor to spend the winter atNice.

"At Nice!" exclaimed De Verneull,amazed to find the pleasure which thecoincidence gave him. "Why, I amgoing thqre myself," he said. Just thenthe train drew up IH tho Lyons depot.I)e Verneull alighted and soon returnedluden with picture books for his littlechance acquaintance. Arthur was delighted with the colored prints nnd afterlooking at them for some time sudden-

breeze, spent hours together on' thewarm, sunny beach, and the bachelor,was obliged to acknowledge, in spite ofbis prejudices,'that he had never be-fore found Nice quite so pleasant.Though he, had ijot visited the casino,the jtheater or .'any places of; amuse-ment, the days and weeks had flownby, pleasantly and almost Imperceptiblyand with the mild air and warm south-ern sunshine his pretty protege, ArthurBarrington, had regained his health,and' his little legs had grown strongand round. ' ,

A romp: was now the,order of.theday,' and.one morning B$\ De Verneull,Mrs. Barrington and-Arthur sat in thepleasant, sunshine on, the vine coveredveranda tne boy suddenly sprang .upfrom-his toys and began to screamand dance. "You see; majnma,'" said'he, bursting into a loud, merry laugh,"this is the way I play AmericanIndian with monsieur."' •

"But, my dear son;* protested hismother, "you are making such a dread-ful noise." ' -.

"List him alone, my dear madatne,"Interposed De Verneull. "Move to hearhim scream and laugh, for these arethe , privileges o* childhood." Butscarcely bad the words escaped himwhen he recalled his portrait of chil-dren to Duvivier—and possibly through(shame and to efface.the unpleasant re-membrance be caught the boy up Inhisanns and kissed him passionately.

Arthur laid his pretty, dimpled face1

upon Ms shoulder, and his piping; child-like voice begged monsieur to remainalways with his mamma and grand-mother. De Verneull, usually so selfpossessed, felt the color mounting tohis face as he cast a furtive glance atMrs. Barrington, who suddenly appear-ed to be absorbed In her book. ThenIn the twinkling of an eye he ran downthe garden path, closely-followed byArthur. ..

That evening a , quiet walk beneathhe stars settled the entire affair to the

satisfaction of all. The child bad won,and for ^his reason Edmond de Ver-neuil returned to Paris, in the brightmonth of May, accompanied by afiancee, a prospective son and a, futuremother-in-law. As an ardent lover hehad few equals, and, the young widowyielding to his pleadings, the marriagewas fixed for an early date. Of coursehe did not attend Duvivier's wedding,for the very excellent reason that hehad to be present at his own, but thenext day he received from his friendthe following note:

My Dear De Verneull—My warmest congratula-ions for your masterly stroke; but, between our-

eclvea, I am as jealous as a Moor, for it is not thegood fortune ot every man to receive on -the sameday a wife, a Bon and a mother-in-law. Alwayssincerely yours, DunviEB.

Her Compliment., "Talk about your corduroy roads,"

Bald a young actress who played hererecently, Vjust let me tefl you aboutthe jolt the chambermaid dealt me theother morning. She has been'lettingme overdraw my towel account!rightalong, so I felt that I was due to showmy appreciation, and I gave her a passto the show. She had a seat just toleeward of the orchestra leader, and Icopped her put for my bullseye theminute I came on. I don't want togive myself a curtain call, but I do getthem going the minute I cut in in thatport, and there's eomething doing the.whole time I am on the stage, I work-ed overtime last* night showing thatchambermaid the real thing. I was ItI was the whole programme, wjth foot-notes. I made the hit of my life. Thismorning I met her In. the hall.

" 'Did you enjoy the performance lastnight?' I asked, giving her the cue tohand me out a few well chosen testimo-nials. \ • \

"•Oh, yes," said she. '1 thought itwas lovely.'

" 'My, yes!' she. went on. 'I liked Itever so much. The. scenery was justperfectly grand.''" •

Little Harry's Diplomacy;Little Harry was very fond of sweet

things to eat, and especially of pud-' dings, which were his favorite dessert.: Accordingly his dinners were made a• burden to him, since his parents per-sisted that,he 'must make his.mealsoff the substantiate and leave whatHarry called the good things until last.One day while Harry's nostrils weretickled with the tantalizing odors of

1 his most favored pudding a schemewas born in bis brain that points hisway to future greatness. When hismother put before him a plate of meatand potatoes he eyfed it a moment inapparent ecstasy; then, shoving it re-gretfully away, he said: '

"I declare that looks so good I guesBI'll leave it till the very last thing andget rid of that pudding flrstt1!-

Warming to the Work.The work of turning winter gooda into

money goes merrily on; we're warmed, up to

at cost. What price will move it, that's the

only question. Once answered, down goes

the price accordingly. Wise losses are as

good as profits just at this season.
